Health Connection

Health Connection was launched in 2006 to increase personal health awareness among North American employees, to engage them in proactive health improvement activities, and to help ensure the continued viability of the company’s employee benefit plans. Health Connection programs offer resources, information and support to help employees and their families stay healthy, identify specific health-improvement opportunities, make healthy lifestyle choices, and be better consumers of health care services. The objective is to identify and diminish the effects of root causes that contribute to poor health and serious diseases, such as depression and unmanaged stress, excess weight, high blood pressure, tobacco use and inactivity.

Our Health Connection suite of programs aligns with and complements employee health plan offerings and covered services. For example, preventive care is covered under Weyerhaeuser health care plans at no cost to enrolled employees and dependents. As such, preventive-service coverage is considered an integral component of the company’s efforts to ensure that employees make the most of their health care benefits, their health care dollars and especially their health.

Health Connection programs include:

  • Employee Assistance in the U.S. and Canada
  • Subsidized Weight Watchers® weight management
  • Personal Health Coaching for targeted medical conditions
  • Online Personal Health Resources
  • On-site Personal Health Assessments
  • Quit For Life® tobacco cessation
  • Company-wide seasonal physical activity campaigns
  • Monthly health topic webinars
  • Company-wide immunization programs
  • Regular and frequent communication about health improvement and preventive health care on our company Intranet

Employees Engaged in Health Programs

Since early 2006, more than 10,000 U.S. employees have taken advantage of on-site health screenings. In the past three years, through Weyerhaeuser's companywide on-site immunization program, more than 30,000 flu, pneumococcal, and tetanus immunizations were administered at no cost to U.S. employees and their spouses or qualified domestic partners. In addition, more than 15,000 U.S. employees have completed a personal health assessment online since 2008.

Our Weyerhaeuser Employee Health Scorecard provides each business with location-specific metrics and action-planning tools. This scorecard allows more precision in targeting intervention resources to specific health improvement opportunities unique to each employee population. Our goal is to enhance employee health awareness and engagement through increased use of primary medical care and preventive services, improved compliance with prescribed treatment regimens, better management of chronic conditions, and increased participation in Health Connection programs.
